At least 10 injured in central Gaza attack as Antonio Guterres calls newly announced Hamas deal the “only good news” and presses for a regional ceasefire.
An Israeli air strike struck a residential house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza early Saturday, injuring at least 10 people, according to medics at Al-Awda Hospital cited by Al Jazeera.
Hospital officials said those injured were taken to Al-Awda Hospital for treatment following the strike. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military on the reported attack.
The strike came as attention remained focused on the newly announced Gaza peace agreement, which proposes a phased ceasefire, Hamas’s disarmament and a gradual Israeli military withdrawal from the Gaza Strip if fully implemented.
What happened in Nuseirat?
According to Al Jazeera, the Israeli air strike destroyed a residential home in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. Medics at Al-Awda Hospital said at least 10 people were injured in the attack.
The reported strike occurred despite growing international attention on efforts to implement the recently announced peace framework for Gaza.
What did the UN chief say about the Gaza agreement?
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomed the newly announced Hamas agreement, describing it as “the only good news in recent days,” while calling for an immediate end to fighting across the region.
“Let me be clear: the fighting must stop on all fronts in the region,” Guterres said.
He also warned that the conflict was having wider international consequences.
“We are now six months into the military escalation in the Gulf. What began as a regional conflict is increasingly becoming a driver of global instability,” he said.
The comments came as international efforts continue to secure implementation of the Gaza peace agreement and reduce tensions across the wider Middle East.
